Boston+Garden,+Boston,+MA

The Boston Garden was an arena which opened November 17, 1928 in Boston, Massachusetts. Designed by boxing promoter Tex Rickard, who also built the third iteration of New York's Madison Square Garden, the arena was originally called the "Boston Madison Square Garden", but eventually was shortened to the Boston Garden[when?]. It would eventually outlive its original namesake by some 30 years. Located on top of North Station, a train station, which was originally a hub for the Boston and Maine Railroad, and today MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak trains, the Garden hosted home games for the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics, as well as rock concerts, amateur sports, boxing and wrestling cards, circuses and ice shows. It was also used as an exposition hall for political rallies such as the speech by John F. Kennedy in November, 1960. The Boston Garden was demolished in 1997, a few years after the completion of its new successor arena, the FleetCenter, which is now known as TD Garden. //Source: Wikipedia//
